I'm CD1 of cycle 2 TTC #1 so thought I'd start a new thread for anybody in the same situation who didn't get their April BFP.

I had a MMC found on a scan at 9.5weeks after seeing HB at 7 weeks 🙁 I had SMM on the 19th March but no luck in my first month and AF got me today. Normal cycles are 28days so I hope to be testing around the 20th May. This month I will be tracking ovulation using CB connected and trying out Preseed for the first time hoping this helps towards my 🌈 but tonight I'll just be having a G&T 💁🏾‍♀️

@Sallyjo27 I've set an alarm for 5.45am every morning 😴 damn OH and his early shifts mean I have to go with this time to ensure consistency, but most days I get a couple hours after aswell.

@Mommybear05 so happy to hear that you are feeling positive. We used preseed tonight for the first time this cycle but I was feeling super lazy and didn't bother with the applicator, big mistake 😂 Sharp twinge on one side definitely sounds like ovulation but I bets its nice not knowing when you ovulated so no official TWW. Hope LO is still doing well with daddy bedtimes xx

Hi girls just updating. Seems many of us are waiting for our fertile window now. Good luck to everyone this cycle! Cycle day 15 here. Yesterday at cd 14 I had a sharp twinge on my left side low toward my hip bone. Could be ovulation maybe? Trying not to symptom spot anyway. Maybe it is maybe it isn’t 🤷‍♀️ This month so far been using the pre seed would really recommend for those who haven’t tried it we’ve been enjoying 😉😉. I’ll let you know if it actually works haha. I’m not tracking any opks or temperature this month and I’m not even checking cm either. Just counting cycle days with reg sex and chilling. I have to say I feel so much better for it ❤️😊

Sallyjo27 · 28/04/2020 19:29

That’s a good idea, I’ve got to be honest I’m forgetting 😂
I use natural cycles and I have for over 2 years although at the beginning it was as a contraceptive and it worked brilliantly. I used to temp every morning apart from the odd weekend. However now- especially as I’m only working in school when I’m on the rota I’m finding it hard I’ve got an alarm as a reminder that I’m going to be using from tomorrow though xx

SmileyT · 28/04/2020 17:40

I ovulated CD18 straight after MC but normal cycles are 28days so guessing it will be around CD14 but I'd never tracked ovulation before so who knows.

I started ic on CD5 (as I was curious) and CB on CD9, doing CB in the morning and ic in the afternoon now. I'm CD10 and CB is showing ⭕️ so think when that turns to flashy I'll add in another ic at night. How are you finding temping? This month mine looks a lot more stable then it did last month xx

Sallyjo27 · 28/04/2020 17:06

@SmileyT I think I’ll use the IC until I can see the lines becoming a slight bit darker then I’ll use CB and the IC too. I usually ovulate on day 17-19 so may do one in the evening then too, what about you?

SmileyT · 28/04/2020 12:11

@Sallyjo27 hope this cycle is a little bit shorter and less stressful than last cycle for you. I'm also tracking using CB and ic, how many are you planning to do of each per day? I'm confident that we will all get our 2021 🌈 xx

Hi all, hope your all okay and not too fed up with lockdown- if in the uk!

I’ve had a break for a while, been patiently waiting for AF. Finally CD1 today after 38 days. Usually my cycle is 31. Going to start temping every morning this cycle and will be testing using CB and IC. Fingers crossed for us all we get out 2021 🌈babies
@Ejb86 I hope you get well soon! Tonsillitis is so painful xx

TerribleImagination · 27/04/2020 22:38

@Ejb86 Aw you poor thing! I used to get tonsillitis every year and sometimes it was similar to you now, very flu like! I had it so badly in Malawi once, that everyone thought I had malaria! 😂

Wishing you better! Those antibiotics will do their thing soon I’m sure!

VP91x · 27/04/2020 22:15

@Ejb86 eek!! I hope you feel better soon having tonsillitis is rotten! Look after yourself xx

Renna · 27/04/2020 21:54

@Ejb86 hope you feel better asap hun ! Xx

Ejb86 · 27/04/2020 21:47

@TerribleImagination Thanks for asking. This is definitely the worst I've ever had it. My face is swollen, I cant swallow. My husband can barely make out what I'm saying. I keep switching from shivering to feeling too hot. Got some antibiotics today so hoping they're starting to clear it.

TerribleImagination · 27/04/2020 21:23

@Ejb86 How are you feeling lovey? Tonsillitis is so horrible isn’t it? Sending love ❤️

Renna · 27/04/2020 21:12

@Hayleylou89 yeahh ava looks good and hopefully it does it all for you 👌 I've considered getting one too , so may see how I get on next cycle or 2 just doing opks only then get one of them if still trying:) so keep me posted how you find it! :) it may happen like that with ava !! 🤞🌈🤞🌈🤞 xxxxx

Renna · 27/04/2020 21:05

@SmileyT haha same I think it's because you cant have it .. want it more haha .. hope you're lucky this month too sweety xx

@mommybear05 omg how funny haha weve binged it in lockdown last few weeks too. On season 6 ep 3 !! Nearly every bloody episode... 'I am with child '.... after DTD once... 🤣 DH are like yeah sure !!! That bloomin simple .. 🤣🙄 and DH said the other day ... how do they know they are with child so soon ! 🤣🙄 xx

Hayleylou89 · 27/04/2020 21:03

@Renna yeah ur doing what u think is best for you and thats the right thing... i hope this ava braclet does all the hard work for me so i dnt have to think about it and analyses everything while i sleep and just tells me what my bodys doing rather than have me guessing but still have to do my opks until it gets use to my cycle 🙏 x x last time i ordered the old Clearblue fertility monitor to try when we decided to ttc first time and was pregnant before it got delivered back in sept 😂🙈...if only that could happen again with the AVA x

Mommybear05 · 27/04/2020 20:57

@Renna OMG crazy what U out about Vikings haha haha! We’ve also been watching vikings in lockdown and I always say exactly the same thing to my hubby! It’s depressing they are all getting pregnant and I keep pouting every night! It’s so funny you just mentioned it too! lol. What bit are u on? We’re on season 6 episode 5 x

Ejb86 · 27/04/2020 20:45

CD1 is here! A new start and I can worry about getting better from tonsillitis/covid-19 whichever I've got without having to worry about a baby too.

SmileyT · 27/04/2020 20:22

@Renna yeah it's so annoying that I'm sure I have an increased sex drive during my period and OH never appreciates a week off 😂 Us women have a lot to contend with. I think you are taking completely the right approach as you know you can get pregnant and if you don't see temp rise at ovulation it doesn't change the outcome at the end of the month and probably just leads to loads more worried days. I'm hoping you catch this month just taking it a bit easier, with less googling and anxious symptom spotting xx

OP posts:
Renna · 27/04/2020 19:48

@Hayleylou89 yeahh I liked seeing it last cycle that it went down then up at ovulation.. that was only part I liked lol ... the rest just gave me too much to think about and hated seeing the temp drop before AF too. I guess I feel like if I didnt ovulate one cycle then it's too late to do anything about it any way ... and nothing I can do..so will just give me something else to over think and question if I haven't ovulated or if BBT doesnt pick up on that dip. We said if were still not pg after a couple months maybe do temping again so I'm satisfied again that I am ovulating . But i dont actually doubt I'm ovulating. I saw a dip last cycle the only time I've temped and I've got pg before so think for me the temping made me over think more than it helped. I may change my mind though if still TTC in a few months. Deffo depends how each person feels about it and how it helps you though. I'm glad I did it last month as it reassured me I am ovulating. xxxJust gonna see how relaxing with it all next couple months works for me :) 🤞🌈

Hayleylou89 · 27/04/2020 19:30

@Renna

I know they make it look so easy on TV ... I get why ur not temping this month but dont u like to see when you have ovulated and see ur temp increase? I like the see that happen because we can have annovulary cycles now and again too and ur temps would tell u if that had happened, all personal preference of course :) xxx

VP91x · 27/04/2020 19:12

@ttcin2020 I know it took so long. I was so stressed with everything after and work were just pulling on the workload that my body was just so over the place. Hopefully you get a reset soon xx

Renna · 27/04/2020 19:11

@Rainbowhope11 bfp even better hun ! Fingers crossed for you xx

@SmileyT yeahh trying to be more positive and think the things I'm doing or not doing this cycle may help with that! :) sounds the same as me with AF! This is the thing ... I was in the mood for DTD today... thought af was done ... she knows how to ruin things ay !! Haha . Hope you get your peak when you're expecting 🤞 let the fun fertile window begin 😁👌

@Hayleylou89 aw I know only been like a day or 2 haha but I feel the same I'd be gutted not seeing you ladies get your BFP or see how you get on . And I'll deffo keep popping back on . I do see most the messages tbh as it comes through as an email when there is a new message so I cant avoid it any way lol . But the days are eve going quicker with me over thinking everything too much tbh ! Let us know how you get on with ava ! Really hope you get your BFP this cycle xxx massive luck and baby dust sent your way lovely xxx

I'm currently watching the series vikings ... doesnt it annoy you these people on TV DTD once and get Pg ... TV .. giving us a false idea of getting pregnant our whole lives... 🤣🤣🙄🙄

Hayleylou89 · 27/04/2020 18:32

Hey @Renna lovely to see u again on here even though its only beeen about a day but still i would have been gutted if u didn't reappear... weve got to get r bfp soon 🙏... would love to find out we are pg in may for a few reasons.. its my mums bday so would love to suprise her... also id love to be pg before my due date 7th June and this month is my last chance 🙏 ...not too much pressure for me then 🙄 xxx my AVA Bracelet got posted today so hopefully it comes soon and i can see what its like..im going to start cheap opking the from around cd 12 (a week today) x just incase i ovulate early like i did on that random
32 day cycle x

SmileyT · 27/04/2020 18:29

@Rainbowhope11 well at least you were DTD this month and you never know even if you weren't being as active you may have still caught a late ovulation. If not then I hope AF shows up so you can reset xx

@Renna I'm glad you are feeling more positive and definitely a good plan to scrap temping if it was something else to worry about. My period was a little random this time, I thought it had stopped (no bleeding all afternoon and all night day 3) and then we DTD the next day and I had another bleed 🤷🏾‍♀️ tbh i have no idea what normal is anymore. I'm currently CD9 and CB told me to start testing today, hoping to get a CD13 peak, which would mean I was back to a 28day cycle🤞 Xx

@ttcin2020 yeah thought that's what you meant but just wanted to make sure... well my first cycle I ovulated about a week later than my apps predicted and AF a few days late aswell so hopefully you get a BFP or AF this week and you can properly reset and get back to 'normal' xx

OP posts:
ttcin2020 · 27/04/2020 18:19

@VP91x
I can't imagine what that must've been like for 8 weeks, I feel like I'm going crazy in 4 weeks. But hopefully you are right and an egg or AF will be along soon 🤞🏻

@SmileyT oops sorry I did mean 18 days from when the bleeding stopped!!
I had 4 cycles before I fell pregnant, two were 26 days two were 30 but I'm not too sure with it being so soon after stopping contraception what my body will do naturally just they tended to only be a day or so late according to an app before the spotting start of a period.

@Mommybear05 thanks!! My EPU were brilliant during but just told me to take a test tomorrow and if it's positive still I should call them.. but not a lot of advice of what to expect or anything! But this is positive hopefully by next week I'll be starting to feel something going on. Just you read everywhere women just bouncing back instantly and I wish it was me!!
